PRIVATE EQUITY MANAGEMENT

Royalton team has been investing in Central Europe since 1991 providing 120 years of combined asset management experience.

The core of Royalton Partners’ strategy is to focus on non-tradable sectors. Businesses in these sectors primarily service local markets and are not as exposed to international trade.

We incentivize management with equity ownership programs to create shareholders value and assist them in strategic decisions.

Royalton Partner’s management team has been investing together for over 27 years and is focused on the management of illiquid assets held in closed and open-ended fund structures, including private equity, real estate and infrastructure.

SPECIALIST IN NON-TRADABLE SECTORS

Businesses in these sectors primarily service local markets and are not as exposed to international trade. Consequently, these sectors are relatively immune from international competition, benefit from increased pricing power as price levels in the Region converge with price levels in the EU generally, and gain as these sectors grow to a size relative to the local economy (as a percentage of GDP) comparable to their Western European counterparts.

Royalton seeks to invest in companies with strong management teams, solid cash flows and a leading market share or control of a defined market niche.

On selective basis, Royalton may also invest in undervalued and underperforming companies that need restructuring.
